Pastis du Zeppelin 44.8° - 70cl

Awen Nature Distillery

We first admire the magnificent label, and then we discover the bouquet. The nose of this certified organic pastis is fresh and aniseed, the palate is very fresh and delicately spiced. But pastis in Brittany? Of course. Besides, if you know how to make absinthe, you know how to make pastis, the latter being one of the spirits that replaced absinthe after it was banned in 1915. Pastis, since then, has become a product of Provence and especially Marseille, but nothing prevents the existence of a Breton pastis. This one gets its taste from a combination of thirteen distilled plants, always with a dominance of green anise and complex, spicy and herbaceous notes: fennel, star anise, angelica root, coriander, cinnamon, orange, iris, licorice, nutmeg, clove. The whole thing is very fresh, as befits a pastis. All that remains is to dilute it with fresh water.

The Awen Nature distillery is a factory of magic potions: beverages with a strong Celtic content, organic liqueurs with a strong touch of poetry. This Breton distillery, located in Ille-et-Vilaine and run by Julien Fanny, initially devoted itself to absinthe, a liqueur that Julien helped to rehabilitate. It's not "the liqueur that makes you crazy," he says: "we were already crazy before." » He strives—successfully—to recreate the taste of yesteryear, that of absinthes that were once given to children on a sugar cube as a dewormer. “You need a touch of madness to be a distiller today,” says Julien. In addition to absinthe, Julien distills a wide range of spirits and liqueurs: gins, vodkas, botanical rums, Swedish elixir, concoctions inspired by role-playing games… All made from plants, respecting the environment, without preservatives or artificial flavors. An ode to plants that the korrigans must sip in secret, at night, on the moors.
